Cook the Book: 'Ten'
i was in west africa for four months studying abroad, and at one point, i moved to a rural village for a homestay. I had gotten really sick and couldn't handle eating any more fish and rice-- i just really wanted a popsicle. So i hopped a bush taxi for two hours and got a 10 dollar popsicle in the closest city.

Cook the Book: 'Ten'
When I was a teen, I loved chocolate so much that I would get up in the middle of the night and make chocolate icing from powdered sugar, butter and cocoa. That's how desperate I was for chocoalate!

I have a shameful secret. I am addicted to "Good N Plenty" candy. I have it hidden around the house, at my office and even the glove compartment of my car. I can go weeks with ot eating some but went this urge hits me...I have to eat it! it is very embarrassing to be eating this candy like a kid because I am a 50 years old woman. My whole family laughs about it.

When I was pregnant, I couldn't get enough salted lemons. I had at least one lemon a day, and I salted the heck out of it. When I started the less fun phase of pregnancy...ahem...I still ate them, but had to deal with them more than once. I know...

I craved dill pickles when I was pregnant, for some reason. And after my daughter was born, I didn't want to eat them at all anymore. It's funny the cravings you get when your pregnant.

As a very young man, I craved Sonic's footlong cheese coney, onion rings and ice tea. When I was released from the Army, there were none in my region. I drove to visit a friend a few months later, but stopped at the first Sonic I saw and indulged. Not healthy or haute, but that was what I wanted.

My strongest food craving was for fried milk. I had some while in Hong Kong but never saw any in the United States. Luckily when I went to mainland China I was able to eat fried milk again.

Not the most unusual story, but the only cravings I have ever had in my life were for pink grapefruit! I can remember one time going grocery shopping and buying quite a big of groceries for my family of five. When I got home I realized that the bagger had forgotten to put the bag filled with my produce choices in my cart. All I could think of coming home was that pink grapefruit...and then to see it was not there! UGH!!! Could I just have substituted a tuna sandwich for my lunch and have my husband pick up the forgotten bag on his way home from work?? Yup! Did I do that...nope! I strapped the kids back in their carseats and went back to the grocery store! The irony of this craving is that now I am on a medication and the one thing I cannot have is grapefruit! Major bummer!

Had a craving for gumbo during a two day power outage. Cooked it on a barbecue pit...turned out pretty good...but the rice left something to be desired.

I had to go all the way to Hong Kong to discover dragonfruit--hot pink with black seeds and a taste kind of like kiwi--yummy!

I always plan vacations around grocery and restaurant visits. Not that exciting, but true. :)

Raspberry Cheesecake. While I was pregnant I drove around Seattle at 10 o’clock at night looking for it. Never found raspberry, had to settle for plain.

I went though a phase where ham, dill pickle and mayo roll ups were all I wanted to eat. I had that for supper every night for about two weeks straight. The thought of it makes me nauseous now.
